And Stevie knows that, uh, nobody's going to bring me down
Until I reach the highest ground
Because me and Stevie, see, we're going to be sailing on the funky sound
Until I reach the highest ground
Busting out, and I'll break you out, because I'm sailing on
Until I reach the highest ground
Just, uh, sailing on, sailing on the higher ground
Until I reach the highest ground
